I''ve seen a lot of issue regarding the stability of Rails apps. I''m charged with investigation of Rails for my company and I''ve looked at numerous fourms, groups, etc. (Textdrive, here, etc.) and it *seems* like there is a stability problem with Rails (ie: crashes, etc.) Is this as common as it looks, or is this tied to things like Lighttpd (web server) or Typo

Hi, I''m setting up a site that will bill on a monthly basis. I would rather not have to worry about storing customer credit card information. Does anyone have recommendations on payment processors that offer monthly billing services? I don''t want to go the paypal route as I want the user to stay on the site. I''m hoping to find an API to integrate with. I have

Hi. I''m loving mocha but have ran into a problem with using the mocha plugin with a project that has the SslRequirement plugin. It seems there is some conflict between the two? Any ideas? $ ruby test/functional/calendar_controller_test.rb /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.0/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:478:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant

Quick question: I am going to use the file_column plugin to manage uploading thumbnails. By default the images are stored in the public/ dir of the rails project. The problem I see is that when capistrano redeploys a new build and symlinks it in none of the images will be in the new public/ dir... Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks, Zack -------------- next part -------------- An

Hi, Quick question...I read in the docs that: "Master user is still subject to ACLs just like any other user, which means that by default the master user has no access to any mailboxes of the user." ... and that the standard workaround is to return master_user=%u from the userdb. But why is the master_user authn-id used in the ACLs and not the authz-id (requested-login-user) ?

What''s the page.method to change the background color of a DOM element? I''m trying to change the background color of a couple of styled <li>''s when an Ajax link is clicked.

Does anyone know how to extend the buit-in rake tasks like test:unit. I want to custom load some fixtures in a particular order. Thanks, Zack

Hi all, I''m thinking of useing sub-domains as account keys, something I''ve played with previously. I have accounts and users, fairly standard, except that users can belong to many accounts, and accounts can have many users. So I figure I need to have an area on the main domain, that allows users to view their account memberships and things. Sort of like a dashboard for each

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

I wanted to get the community opinion on the best way to use partials and inline list (<li>) editing. I have a very common scenario where a list is rendered: --- index.rhtml --- <ul> <%= render :partial => ''item'', @collection => @items %> </ul> --- _item.rhtml (simplified) --- <li id="item_<%= item.id %>"> <div

Hi, I understand from earlier discussions that the reason dovecot doesn't support proxying of other SASL mechanisms than those which supply the plaintext password is that in general it would be possible to proxy any SASL mechanism since it might protect against man-in-the-middle attacks (which would prevent proxying). However, that has led to choice between letting users use PLAIN (or

Hello, I have two classes that are self explanatory and are listed below. class User < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :account end class Account < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :account_owner, { :dependent => true, :class_name => "User", :conditions => "is_account_owner = 1" } has_many :users end In the signup controller when an account is created one user

Hi, I have a self-referential has_many :through relationship setup to track relationships between users. Basically relationships are modeled as a join table with an extra column ''relation''. create table relationships ( user_id integer unsigned not null, friend_id integer unsigned not null, relation char(1) not null, ) --- relations --- f = friend r = request to

Hi all, I''ve been spending quite a lot of time trying to install a decent RoR server on my dedicated server (Ubuntu 6.06 LTS), and now, everything works. However, the performances are not really what I had expected... I would like to know what you think about it. Here is my config: 2GHz VIA proc, 1Gb RAM, SATA-II HD. I have apt-got ruby 1.8.4, mysql5 and installed rails 1.1.4 by

I know that there are some methods to use federated identities (e.g. OAuth2) with SSH authentication but, from what I've seen, they largely seem clunky and require users to interact with web browsers to get one time tokens. Which is sort of acceptable for occasional logins but doesn't work with automated/scripted actions. I'm just wondering if anyone has done any work on this or

Le''s say that I have a table called people and the column middle_name is nullable. If the user enters say blank or empty space then in the database it is recorded as empty space. I would like in all my models all empty spaces to be recorded as null. I guess I can write a plugin which will do so for all the models but I''m sure something like that should already be existing.I

I am following the instructions on how to use RESTful Rails plugin found at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/04/19/rest-on-rails.html?page=3. When I run the rake test:functionals I get the following error message: rake aborted! undefined method `first'' for :book:Symbol (See full trace by running task with --trace) How can I fix this problem? I am using Rails 1.1.4 version. TIA

Hello: I am working to implement certificate-based authentication for some internal applications. It would be very helpful to be able to pass information server-side by specifying some custom options via the Extensions of the signed certificate, allowing the authenticity of the options to be verified readily. However, I have not been able to find too much for specifying behaviors, etc.

I know this shouldn''t be in the view but to test the code it is. Anyway if I do just session[user] I get back the user id (the id from the user table) which is good. However this code does not work. <% a = session[:user] %> <% uname = User.find(:first, :conditions => id = a) %> <%= @uname %> TIA Stuart

Does anyone know a way to dynamically change the session_domain option of ActionController::CgiRequest? I want to have a login section on an index page (www.example.com) that takes a subdomain, username, password, authenticates, then redirects to http://#{subdomain}.mysite.com. I need to set the session_domain option (to the subdomain) dynamically so the cookie can be read when the user arrives
